02.01.2014

Chicago, IL February 2014– Mark Doyle, Vice President, Sales and Agency Development announces the addition of Rutledge Moving Systems, Castroville, CA to the National Van Lines family of agents.

Rutledge Moving Systems is owned by Chris Rutledge. Chris has lived in the Monterey Peninsula, CA area all his life. After serving in the Marines, (1973-1977) Chris immediately began his career in the moving and storage industry. In 1978 he purchased his own tractor and pulled a company trailer working as an owner/operator for the next eighteen years doing interstate work. During that period, he moved everything from household goods, cars, boats, helicopters, and well over a thousand pieces of heavy duty machinery.

In 1991, he secured a prestigious opportunity for himself and his company working under contract with the Pillsbury Corporation. During the next 4 years, they were responsible for the disassembly, crating, transporting and reassembly of the production line equipment. While working with the Pillsbury Corporation, he was afforded the opportunity to supervise and manage projects throughout North America as well as Western Europe. In addition to domestic household moves, he has also done work in Canada, Mexico and France for large manufacturing companies.

Through his association with The Pillsbury Corporation, he was recommended to, and performed work for, many large international companies, e.g. McGraw-Hill, Dannon, Aluminum Processing Vessels (APV), Green Giant, JR Simplot, Hitachi, and others. In 2003, several prior contacts were requesting his moving assistance due to his experience and knowledge.

Along with his two sons, he founded Rutledge Moving Systems. Currently, they employ 6 full- time movers and 4 part-timers. Their services include: Residential Moving, Interstate Moving, Intrastate Moving, Commercial Moving, as well as Office & Industrial Moves.

“Bringing on Chris Rutledge and his company to National Van Lines presents the perfect opportunity to enhance our existing agency representation in the area, and to develop more brand name recognition to northern California,” states Doyle. “They’ll be a great compliment to our ongoing business profile in the state, and we are excited to on-board them!”
